As property tax is administered locally, the best resources for assistance with property tax matters are the property appraiser and the tax collector in the county where the property is located. Find websites for county property appraisers, tax collectors, and VABs at floridarevenue.com/PTO/countyofficials.

Effective January 1, 2023, section 14 of Chapter 2022-97, Laws of Florida, created section 197.319, Florida Statutes (F.S.). This new law ​provides for a refund of property taxes for residential improvements rendered uninhabitable for at least 30 days due to a catastrophic event that occurs in 2023.


The Department of Revenue developed A Florida Homeowner's Gui​de: Catastrophic Event Property Damage and A Florida Homeowner's Guide: Property Tax Relief for Catastrophic Events in 2023​ ​to help homeowners understand the statute. The information provided in these guides applies to catastrophic events that take place in 2023.


Amendments made to s. 197.319 by the 2023 Florida Legislature will first apply to the 2024 tax roll. ​
